    What A Gem!
    I love this podcast! Gobbled them all up because the storytelling, humor, irreverence, and fairness with which Lauren treats her potential party guests is so delicious! I hope there are lots more to come!

    This podcast makes me so happy - one of my favorites!!
    As a HUGE classic Hollywood fan, I find it’s difficult to find podcasts on the subject that are well-researched, well-produced, and entertaining. This hits the bullseye on all three. I love Lauren’s writing and delivery style—cheeky but respectful, fun but not obnoxious, succinct but not dry or boring. Lauren’s really great at digging into the personalities of these major Golden Age players, and by the end of the episode I love hearing her breakdown on whether or not this person should be invited to her imaginary classic Hollywood party. (I would give anything to be at such a party!) Lauren, I hope that you are just on hiatus and are loading more of these into the queue. Thank you so much for the ones you’ve already put out there!!!

    One of the very few good ones!
    Don’t give up! Practice on marketing in addition to content- people should hear your comments tent! I grew to love it and then… gone!

    RSVP to the Party
    Such a fun Old Hollywood podcast! A lovely blend of thoughtful research and clever commentary built around a great premise - would you want to party with this star? I especially love the episodes on Desi Arnaz, Rock Hudson, and Rosalind Russell - personally, I would totally tip back a martini with them. Looking forward to future party guests!
  • DivaSuzyQ
    Fun and Informative!
    I love Hollywood Party! I’m a huge fan of Classic Hollywood. Lauren ‘s episodes are packed with juicy tidbits about the stars of Old Hollywood. Plus, Lauren Semar is funny! I look forward to each Party. I almost feel transported back in time, for a little while anyway.

    FANTASTIC!!!
    This Gloria Swanson podcast was both highly informative, well researched, little known tidbits galore, and a charming storytelling that’s wonderfully entertaining. All of the episodes are very enlightening and the host picks great subjects for the Party Podcast. I’m so excited for the next episode!!!
  • It Takes 3 Network
    Super fun and creative
    I originally stumbled upon this podcast looking for a show on Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz. Loved both episodes on them and can’t wait to listen to more episodes on other potential party guests. Not only is this podcast super informative, but it’s so fun and done in such a creative way.

    Delightful Podcast!
    Hollywood Party is one of the most entertaining and educational Classic Hollywood podcasts I’ve come across! Lauren makes history fun and easily digestible. She knows her stuff and has great delivery. Couldn’t recommend enough! 🖤🖤
  • Maybelline McKelvey
    Groucho Glasses
    Since Groucho won’t be invited to the party (I get it.), can we at least wear Groucho glasses & use rubber cigars?
  • Op In
    Delightful and Dishy
    What a fun podcast. Lauren has a great delivery-smart, witty. Old Hollywood has been written and reviewed extensively- this show keeps the “news” fresh
  • Doctor who of gallaphray
    This show is peppier and better than all other old Hollywood podcasts PERIOD
    This podcast is so fun, and funny. Where other podcasts drone on about the subject, or obnoxiously inject their own experiences into it, this podcast gives it to you straight. Love it!
  • SueDeux
    I Never Knew!
    This podcast is bomb!! I never really cared much about anything Hollywood related, but I do now. Hollywood Party is so well written and full of such interesting info, and Lauren’s outstanding story-telling makes you feel like you’re in the inner circle of old Hollywood. Grab a cocktail and push “play.” You’ll be so glad you did!
  • TheDailyAMG
    More! More! More!
    Lauren, you are the Queen of Old Hollywood! This Podcast delights me to absolutely no end! I am on the edge of my seat to know all of the fabulous and witty tea spills, while devouring all of the spellbinding backstories of the greatest era in Hollywood! Keep up the magnificent work! You are a true and brilliant storyteller! I cannot wait for more! Cheers babe! xo, Amanda
  • orangecountyRP
    Hollywood Gold!
    This podcast is now one of my absolute favs! This hostess with the mostest takes you to the fun little corner of the party for a good ole gossip sesh. What were these stars and moguls really like? Who were they, really, while they were alive, before being idolized by nostalgia’s paintbrush? Some of the answers to these questions—and so much more—are told in Lauren’s unique voice and take on old Hollywood. Sit back, pour yourself a stiff one, and get ready to be edutained at this Hollywood party...!
  • MHake
    Great!
    I listen to all Old Hollywood podcasts and this is one of the best. Love the commentary
  • Deb Paige
    Professional, Educational, Entertaining
    What fun! This pod is well-researched and compelling, full of juicy details. Well-written and produced, and enhanced by Lauren’s narration and snarky commentary. While I recommend it at any time, it’s an especially entertaining pandemic diversion. She makes the glamorous past come to life.
  • Loretta Barnett
    De-Lovely
    The best things that my ears have ever happened upon. Lauren Semar is a tour de force.
  • Koufax123
    High-quality classic Hollywood
    Great stuff. Well produced and enjoyable. Learned a lot of new things about Desi. A must listen if you are a classic-Hollywood connoisseur.
